All around me are familiar faces.
G                 D
Worn out places.  Worn out faces.
Am                         C
Bright and early for their daily races.
G               D
Going nowhere.  Going nowhere.
Am                          C
And their tears are filling up their glasses.
G               D
No expression.  No expression.
Am                      C
Hide my head; I want to drown my sorrow.
G             D
No tomorrow.  No tomorrow.

And I find it kinda funny.
                Am
I find it kinda sad.
                        D

                       Am
Are the best I've ever had.
                  D

                      Am
'Cause I find it hard to take.
                   D
When people run in circles it's a very, very...

Made to feel the way that every child should.
G                D
Sit and listen.  Sit and listen.
Am                       C
Went to school and I was very nervous.
G                D
No one knew me.  No one knew me.
Am                     C
Hello, teacher tell me what's my lesson?

Look right through me.  Look right through me.
